"What?" Li Xiu was shocked when he heard Ma Master's words. He couldn't help but scream. He never dreamed that Li Shimin would make such a request. After all, Ma Master is over 60 years old and is not in good health. A serious illness in the past few years almost killed him. Although he has recovered a little, he is still not suitable for work. How could Li Shimin think of letting Ma Master return to Feinusi?

"Don't be too surprised. In fact, Your Majesty has no choice. The main reason is that after I left Feinusi, there has been no capable person in charge of Feinusi. As a result, Feinusi has been on the decline in recent years. Now the court wants to manage the Western Regions. In this way, the Western Turks have become a roadblock to manage the Western Regions. Therefore, Your Majesty wants to transform the Western Turks from internally. This is also the responsibility of Feinusi. It is just that there is no effective manipulation, so Your Majesty wants me to re-take Feinusi." Ma continued to speak at this time.

"Even so, there is no need to let you go to Feinusi again. After all, Your Majesty is not unaware of your health. Feinusi's affairs are numerous and complicated, and the energy consumed is enough to make people unable to bear it." Li Xiu said very opposed at the moment. After all, Ma is so old and should have been at home to take care of his old age. If he really can't do anything about it, he will spend more time to go to Feinusi again.

"But..." When Ma Ye heard Li Xiu's words, he showed a hesitant expression, as if there was something unspeakable, but he stopped as soon as he opened his mouth.

Seeing Ma Master hesitant, Li Xiu showed a surprised expression again and asked hurriedly: "Uncle Ma, don't you really want to return to Feinusi, right? This is not possible. If you don't talk about anything else, your body may not be able to support it, and the princess will definitely not agree, so you must not have such an idea. If you feel it is not easy to reject Your Majesty, then I will tell you for you!"

When Li Xiu said it at the end, he couldn't help but complain about Li Shimin. After all, Ma Ye was very happy to take care of his old age at home, usually with his wife and grandson, and went fishing with Qin Qiong when he had time. He lived a very leisurely life, but now he suddenly asked him to go to Feinusi. Although it was a need of the country, he didn't believe in such a big country. Can't he find someone in charge of Feinusi? He insisted on letting an elderly man like Ma Ye worry about this?

Seeing that Li Xiu clearly objected, Ma Ye smiled bitterly. After being silent for a moment, he finally looked up and said, "Actually, Your Majesty did not force me, he just asked for my opinion. Even if I refused, he would not say anything. But I couldn't let it go. But I knew you would definitely object, so I discussed it first."

"Uncle Ma, what can you let go? Now you have achieved success and your own family is with you. Especially He'er has given birth to a few grandchildren. Now you only need to enjoy the joy of children and grandchildren around your knees. Why bother paying attention to these things in the court?" Li Xiu persuaded again with great thoughts.

Li Xiu was very opposed to Ma Ye's return to Feinusi. After all, he really couldn't figure out what reason Ma Ye had to go back, but now looking at Ma Ye's appearance, he seemed to want to go back, which made him very puzzled.

"I don't care about anything else, but I founded the Feinusi by myself. When the Emperor first started his army, he needed a channel to quickly convey messages, so I was ordered to form the Feinusi, from the beginning of a few carousel pigeons, and a dozen horses, to now forming a huge organization hidden in the dark. These are all established bit by bit by bit. It can be said that my greatest achievement in my life is the Feinusi, so now I am unwilling to see it fade away little by little!" Ma Jun finally told his reasons, and at the end, a strong feeling burst out in his eyes.

Li Xiu was stunned when he heard these words from Ma Ye. He had guessed some reasons for Ma Ye to return to Feinusi, but he ignored Ma Ye's feelings for Feinusi. Indeed, Ma Ye's greatest contribution in his life was not war. In fact, as a general, the contribution he made could not be compared with Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and others. However, if Feinusi's contribution was also counted on him, then few people in the Tang Dynasty could compare with him.

What is even more worth mentioning is that Ma Ye knew that he had lost the ability to give birth, so before he met Hen'er, he almost put all his energy on Feinusi. It can be said that Feinusi is like his child. Even if Hen'er later, Feinusi still has an irreplaceable position in his heart. This is also the fact that he was dismissed when Li Shimin first ascended the throne. But later when Li Shimin needed it, he returned to Feinusi to serve. If this time is included, it is his third time in charge of Feinusi.

Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help but understand Ma Master more. He thought of Ma Master's body, and he said worriedly: "Uncle Ma, I understand your mood, but you should also pay attention to your own body. Even if you want to go, consider the opinions of the princess and Hener. I'm afraid they won't want you to work hard again."

"I also know that He'er and the other mother and daughter will worry, so I asked you to discuss it. And I have also decided that even if I return to Feinusi, I will not do everything myself like before. At most, I will just control the general direction. As for other things, naturally, there will be people below to do it, but..."

When Ma Ye said it at the end, he suddenly frowned, as if he had thought of something bad, which made Li Xiu ask, "It's just what?"

Mr. Ma suddenly sighed, and then continued: "It's just that the subordinates I brought out either died in the mission or retired because they were too old. Especially after I left over the years, many of my old subordinates were also cleaned up. So the Feinusi is no longer the Feinusi I brought out. If I return to Feinusi, I'm afraid there will be few people who can use it. If I reorganize and promote it, it will take a lot of time and energy, which is exactly what I lack the most."

Hearing Ma Ye’s concerns, Li Xiu nodded deeply. After all, Feinusi is a very special institution. He is not under the jurisdiction of other departments. Even the three provinces and six ministries have no right to interfere in Feinusi’s affairs. Sometimes he even has to cooperate with Feinusi. It can be said that except for the emperor, no one can command Feinusi.

In this case, Feinusi has no supervision, which makes it easy for the content to appear one by one. Even if it is a commander, it is not easy to call the people below, so it is not easy to place your own people below. This is not an easy task. When Ma Ye founded Feinusi, he promoted the people below, and naturally he used his fingers. However, now the people under his command are either dead or retreating. There are also many mountains inside Feinusi. At his current age, he has no time or energy to rectify these mountains inside Feinusi.

When Li Xiu heard Ma Ye's words, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. In fact, he was very conflicted at this time, that is, he understood that Ma Ye could not let go of his feelings for Feinusi, but he was unwilling to let him go back. Moreover, Feinusi's situation is still so complicated now, so he was even more unwilling to let him go back.

"But there is actually a solution to Feinusi's current situation." At this moment, Ma suddenly spoke again, with a mysterious smile on his face.

"What's the solution?" Li Xiu also blurted out.

"It's very simple. I don't have the energy to do these things, so I can only find a capable assistant to help me do these things. This assistant is not only capable, but also has to obey my orders. If there is such an assistant, it will not be difficult to rectify Feinusi in a short time." Mr. Ma said again at this time, and when he said the word "helper", he couldn't help looking at Li Xiu.

"Uncle Ma, don't you ask me to go to Feinusi? That's not OK. Not to mention that I have resigned. In addition, I have never held a position in Feinusi and are not very familiar with the affairs of the Sizhong. Even if I go to Feinusi, I can't help you!" Li Xiu was shocked when he saw Ma's eyes. He waved his hand quickly. He had just jumped out of the fire pit in the court, so he naturally didn't want to jump in again.

"Haha~, don't get me wrong. I'm not talking about you. In fact, although your ability is good, it is not suitable for Feinusi, because you are not decisive and ruthless enough, and you are too emotional. If you really go to Feinusi, you may only make Feinusi mess up. I'm talking about another person!" Seeing Li Xiu's panicked look, Ma Ye couldn't help laughing.

"Who is the other person?" Li Xiu was relieved when he heard Ma Ye say it was not him, but then he asked curiously again.

"Who else can it be? It's naturally the cruel Zhao Deyan!" Mr. Ma smiled.

"So it's him!" Li Xiu couldn't help but show a sudden enlightenment when he heard Ma Ye's words. Zhao Deyan was indeed a very suitable candidate. First, he was a member of Feinusi and once used to be the code name of "Prime Minister". It can be said that Jie Li was destroyed, and Zhao Deyan played a very critical role. Second, Zhao Deyan acted ruthlessly and decisively, and his ability was also very outstanding. If he was Ma Ye's helper, it would be not difficult to rectify Feinusi.

"Actually, after His Majesty found me, I thought of Zhao Deyan and even wanted to recommend him to serve as the commander of Feinusi instead of me. However, although he had worked for Feinusi, he had never been at the core of Feinusi, so I was worried that his prestige would not be enough to convince the public, so I wanted him to temporarily serve as my helper. After rectifying Feinusi, he would let him take over little by little. But I still had one concern, so I wanted you to help me!" Ma Ye spoke again at this time, and when he said this, a solemn expression appeared on his face.
